The aya says:
And to you (plural masculine) belongs half of what your spouses left behind, if they did not happen to have children. So, if they had children, then belongs to you the quarter of what they left after a will she wills or debt. And to them (plural feminine) belongs quarter of what you left if you did not happen to have children, so if you happened to have children then to them belongs the eighth of what you left after a will you will or debt. And if it was a man inherited with family other than parents, children or spouse, or woman, and has brother or sister, then to each of the two belongs the sixth, then if they were more than that, then they are partners in the third, from after a will willed or debt, not causing harm. This (is) an entrustment from Allah and Allah is knowledgeable, kind.
